    Description of A Practitioner's Guide To Takeovers and Mergers in the European Union

    The adoption of the EU Takeover Directive in April 2004 marked the end of a 14-year journey during which the original intention of creating a level playing fi eld for the conduct of European takeovers was substantially watered down. Member states now have until May 2006 to enforce it. The "opt out" provisions within the directive and the fact that it sets only minimum standards mean that there will continue to be substantial variation in law and regulation of takeovers and mergers in the 25 EU member states.
    The fourth edition of City & Financial’s best-selling Practitioner's Guide to Takeovers and Mergers in the European Union includes the original 15 member states, the 10 new accession countries as well as Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey. The book covers the key developments that have occurred on a country-by-country basis. Domestic legislation to implement the directive is anticipated in states where it has not yet been implemented.

    Each chapter covers:
    - Acquisition targets and methods of acquisition
    - Exchange and investment control
    - Merger control Regulation of the conduct of mergers and acquisitions
    - Preparation of an offer
    - Conduct of a public offer and defences to a hostile offer
    - Financial assistance
    - Profit forecasts and asset valuation
    - Documents from the offeror and offeree board
    - Compulsory acquisition of minorities
    - Insider dealing and market manipulation
